liked the book you sent her. She has written to tell you so. I think it is a good letter for a little girl only five years old. Fred is in the hammock with Alice. She says, Don’t you fink boys is naughty? I hope you don’t forget the worms for my turtle. He wants five a day every day. I think this is all I can think of now. Fred sends love, so no more now.
Your affectionate son,
P.S. I forgot to tell you that the box under my table has a worm in it that I want to have spin himself up, so don’t move it. R. M. A.
P.S. Number 2. Tell Ted I forgot to give him back his bat. It is in the corner of the closet in my room.P.S. 3. The best worms are in the bed where the verbenas are. R.
Folded inside this letter was another, written in large letters on a grimy sheet of paper.[1]
